I cannot say enough great things about working with Ralph Marsh and The Bambace Peterson Team at Compass Real Estate in Carmel. My experience as an out of state buyer could not have been more professional. Ralph and the team immediately made me feel confident that they would handle all the details on the transaction with me in another state. They provided excellent negotiation advice, timely updates and even attended home inspections in my absence. In the meantime they provided me with recommendations of local services and just kept making sure I was taken care of as a client. The whole transaction went smoothly and they were just a complete pleasure to do business with. I look forward to working with them again and would not hesitate to recommend Ralph and the team to anyone looking for knowledgable, experienced realtors.

Dana was referred to us because of her tenacity, and we quickly saw why. We used her team to both sell our Pacific Grove property and to purchase a new home. She communicated clearly and was always available with thoughtful explanations whenever we had questions. Her team’s approach to preparing a home is exceptional—they know how to showcase a property as the best version of itself while thoughtfully considering the target market. Dana’s deep understanding of the Monterey Peninsula was invaluable. She knows the area, understands how things get done, and is well connected with other realtors, contractors, and builders. Just as importantly, she took extra steps to protect us from investing in the wrong property because of mounting structural issues. Throughout the process, Dana listened carefully and pivoted twice at our request, fully understanding and respecting our wishes. Even when we…

Even when we ultimately chose to buy outside the area, she remained generous with her guidance and connected us with a seasoned, reputable realtor. Her professionalism, knowledge, and commitment made a real difference for us. We are grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her.

Working with Dana and her team was an absolute masterclass in client service. We weren’t even actively in the market for a home when the right opportunity surfaced, but Dana pivoted without missing a beat. From the moment we decided to move forward, her speed, availability, and proactive communication made all the difference. We had a million questions throughout the transaction, and Dana answered every single one with patience, deep market knowledge, and clear guidance, making what could have been a chaotic process feel seamless. What truly sets Dana apart, though, is that her commitment doesn’t end at closing. Since moving in, we’ve relied on her network for local recommendations—from plumbers and electricians to general contractors—and every single referral has been top-notch. She has become our most trusted local resource. Best of all, we gained more than just a phenomenal realtor…

Getting to celebrate our first Car Week together at an event was a genuine highlight. If you’re looking for a realtor who is sharp, incredibly fast, and genuinely invested in your family’s happiness, look no further than the Dana Bambace team!

I've been pressing my nose up against the glass of Carmel real estate for a long time, and Dana has been along for the entire ride. She's practical, strategic, and knows the market inside and out. Dana and her team were incredible - and I landed in my dream home on Carmel point. I've bought and sold many properties over the years in various markets, and I can say that Dana and her team are far and away the best at what they do. Highly recommend!
